Good luck to our cadets collecting GCSE results today. No matter what that piece of paper says, you’re brilliant and there is a path ahead for you, even if it differs from what you thought.

We are wishing you all the best of luck. 🤞

Tonight, we had a bit more of a breeze, so cadets were able to get some movement across the lake without as much assistance as last week ⛵️

The CO even got some time driving the safety boat under the watchful eye of the safety boat driver, as she is putting some time in, working towards her qualifications, proving that learning never ends!

Well done everyone and as always, big thanks to CI Green for enabling us to sail. We appreciate you 💛

We had a fantastic time on the water this evening. The lack of breeze wasn’t brilliant for sailing, but after being towed out, a little breeze was found. Another successful evening at the lake ⛵️

Interested in joining us?

We’d love to welcome young people aged 10–18 to come along, meet the team and discover what Sea Cadets is all about.

We’re also always looking for enthusiastic volunteers aged 18+ to join our staff team or support us as part of our Unit Management Committee.

Come and be part of the adventure!
